If conservatives are worried about the blue wave (I think its conservatives migrating for most part), then they need to allow city/county secession w/n their own states. Decentralization is the true key to freedom.
Ironically, there are some lefties out there who think the same thing (anarcho-communist). Essentially the American conception of “libertarian” is just an anarcho-capitalist.
Not really a horseshoe theory guy but further breaking down autonomous state-like units in this country is a legitimate option for a pressure relief valve in our current political loggerheads. Unfortunately, there is the global competition problem that basically necessitates weaker states and more federal power. Not really sure there is a good answer for where to enshrine the most power. My hunch is that the federal systems you see in the Americas are going the way of the dodo bird simply due to the unavoidable realities of global competition requiring a very powerful state that can redirect domestic effort on a dime. As long as we don’t all end up having to be on D.C timezone like the Chinese with Bejing then I reckon most will not notice the day-to-day difference.

So you think the population growth was greater than the official numbers, due to illegal immigrants?

I lived in 4 different states during that time. But if you only count the first and last then I went from California to Florida.
I won't even show up on the other 2 state stats, even though I only recently moved to Florida. I also only spent about 2.5 years of it in California.
The decade before it was 3 states, but the first and last would be - to Alabama and + to California.

7th fastest growing county in the entire country is in that MSA, and they managed to somehow lose population?

So from the GOP perspective, what's the problem then?
Because Diego is wrong. 7 states are losing seats, while six are gaining them. On the surface, it looks like a net gain of a couple for Republicans, but there is already discussion in New York of redistricting so that the current count of 19-8 in favor of Democrats will be 23-3 after the redistricting. They aren't looking at just taking out one R seat for the one they're losing, they intend to gerrymander out 3 to 5 of them.

I feel like you’re ignoring that the GOP can and will be an active participant in the redistricting gerrymandering proceedings. The Dems, as you mentioned, seem poised to break the seal on some of their last ditch efforts to maintain a majority for a little while longer but if the demographic trends maintain for another decade then the GOP ought to be able to more consistently win the House in the future. I wasn’t really talking about next mid-term timescale anyway. The medium-term direction seems to be more positive for the GOP than many seem to realize.
The Dems can aggressively gerrymander like the GOP did in 2010 but that GOP advantage got washed away by January 2019. I imagine the Dems effort may buy them 2-3 house cycles at most. Considering they’re Dems, they’ll probably negotiate themselves off the maximal partisan position and lose the majority in the house by 2024. Seems like the most lib thing they could do.
Eventually your party runs out of gerrymandering and has to start winning states back and reconstructing their state legislatures to benefit the voting power and geography of your bloc. I don’t really think the Dems are likely to be able to achieve that in Georgia and Texas because the GOP realized the demographics shifts long ago and they’re doing as good of job as they can at monkeying with things to make that transition long or impossible.

Depends upon who they lost, that may be addition by subtraction.

The summer of 2012.
Spent little over a year in Tennessee, then moved to Arizona the weekend of the 1st Alabama Ole Miss loss.
Been in Florida the past 2 years.

It's crazy when I go back home to Alabama how much things have changed over the past 15-20 years since I lived there.
So much new growth. But then at the same time areas that were newer back then are now grown up more with trees etc.
Last summer when I was there I basically spent a day driving around looking at all the changes.

I buy houses on the side and Tampa has a great market, and at the same time I'm only about 9 hours away from family driving vs 3 days.
I had looked into the Huntsville area, but it's not as great of a market because it's mostly new builds going up. I buy older houses.
